The Ravens receiver rode to the rescue at Forest Ridge recently when a scheduled visit from another player fell through amid reports that the company that arranged it had fumbled on several such school assemblies after taking thousands in fees. Smith, a rookie out of Maryland, filled in a the last minute after he got a call from a parent who was one of his coaches at UM.

He undoubtedly made some personal fans that day, and might have even turned a few from the burgundy-and-gold to the purple-and-black.

A holding call against Smith on the first play from scrimmage negated a touchdown. Then, late in the game, when the Ravens were trying to rally from a four-point deficit, Smith dropped a pass in the end zone, and it looked as though Baltimore would again fall to its arch-nemesis.

But the former Terp redeemed himself a few plays later, beating a Steeler defender long to catch the game-winning touchdown.

Fans at Forest Ridge must have been doing more stomach flips than when the cafeteria served Tuna Surprise.
